    Note: This article is for the newly redesigned module. This updated module is in the process of being rolled out and may only be available to some users.


    Overview

    By far, the easiest way to access and use BuildingLink is via the BuildingLink Resident app. The app is a free download for both Apple and Android devices. See below for the links to download the free app. Below you will also learn about some of the more popular features of the BuildingLink Resident app. (Note: Not all features will be available to all residents as some of these features may not be available at your specific property.) As always, should you have any questions or problems, you can reach out to BuildingLink support at 1-877-501-7117 x 0 or email us at support@buildinglink.com.
